For over 80 years, Columbia’s goal has been to keep people outdoors, and our long black puffer coats allow you to do just that. They can seamlessly transition from casual outings to occasions that require a more polished look. Not only that, but they also provide the comfort, quality and protection you have come to expect from the Columbia brand.

Find out why you should choose a long black puffer, what its top features are and advice on how best to style this multi-purpose cold-weather classic.

Why Choose a Long Black Puffer Jacket?

All of our long black puffer jackets for women offer a range of benefits, including protection, style and versatility.

Many of our long puffers are well-insulated, providing exceptional warmth during the winter season. We insulate our puffers, including our quilted models, with RDS-certified down or synthetic materials. Both provide lightweight, cosy comfort to keep you warm on colder days.

Not only will a long puffer coat keep you warm, but many from our collection will keep you dry. Several models feature our innovative waterproof technologies, specifically designed to tackle wet weather.

Alongside our practical elements, a long black puffer coat also offers stylish versatility. No matter the occasion, your puffer will look the part.

Now, you may be wondering, what if you don’t want black? Don’t worry, many of our long puffer coats with our amazing features are also available in other colours, such as shades of cream and stone. We also offer women’s puffer jackets with short hems, if you prefer a shorter length.

Top Features of Long Black Puffer Jackets for Women

From warmth to waterproofing, let’s explore some of the top features that Columbia’s long black puffers offer.

Many of our puffers feature our advanced insulation technologies, including ThermaratorTM, Omni-HeatTM Reflective and Omni-HeatTM Infinity.

• ThermaratorTM: Delivers lightweight synthetic insulation for warmth that looks and feels like real down.
• Omni-HeatTM Reflective: Provides enhanced lightweight warmth with our patented silver dots that effectively retain body heat by reflecting it.
• Omni-HeatTM Infinity: The gold standard of warmth that uses our new thermal-reflective patterns to increase breathable heat retention.

If you’re looking for a bit more warmth, try adding one of our nwomen’s gilets for a subtle extra layer underneath your puffer.

Alongside our effective insulation, many of our puffers also provide waterproof protection, incorporating Columbia’s Omni-ShieldTM technology. Omni-ShieldTM is ideal for light to medium precipitation, offering multi-layered, breathable waterproof and windproof protection that allows heat and moisture to escape. However, if you’re looking for protection from heavy downpours, check out our collection of women’s waterproof jackets.

As well as effective protection that keeps you warm and dry, several of our puffers also feature removable hoods that can be packed away in a bag when not in use, offering a versatile look. Many also include spacious pockets with fastenings, like zips or buttons, to protect your valuables.

How to Style Your Long Black Puffer Jacket

Due to its incredibly dynamic design, styling a long black puffer jacket is easy. Black puffers suit any occasion, from casual outings to more formal ones.

For a more casual setting, such as attending a sports event or running errands, pair your puffer with a pair of jeans, tall boots, and one of our women’s fleeces. For example, a sherpa fleece will keep the look casual, while adding some extra warmth.

If you’re looking to style your puffer for work, they are great to throw over a blazer and shirt. Add a statement scarf and an oversized bag, and you’re ready to go.

If you have an evening event, our long puffers are perfect. They will help to keep your legs warm during the chilly temperatures if you plan on wearing a dress. Being black in colour adds a level of formality to your outfit. Remember, you can also remove the hood from some models for a more polished look.
